CNXION is designed to be highly customisable. We did not start with the goal of selling products at all. We started with a focus on allowing the content of interest to be discovered. This is where the idea of 'matching' comes from, as distinct from 'searching', where a user types in a search term actively. In the case of matching the user may have simply specified their preferences on their Profile.

This unique approach to design has resulted in a system that is highly configurable, yes it's possible you could configure the 'things' to be found to be 'Products', that can be purchased and shipped. But its also possible that you could just allow notifications to be sent to users when a new thing/person/content item matches their profile.

Customisation is for anyone with an idea for a platform that wants to connect one or more types of users together, either directly to each other, or perhaps by intermediate offers and requests.

CNXION was founded on the basis that it was too expensive and difficult to customise a marketplace, search or matching platform with the tools available. A common use case for customising CNXION is to make it fit in with your concept or business logic. For example as a platform creator you may want to customise branding, user profiles, the content that users create, and even the billing and payment logic.

While much of your platform is customisable, it is possible that you may need to file a support request to action some elements of the customisation. We are working to make it more user friendly to make these changes yourself, however sometimes its just easier to leave it to the professionals.

To setup your custom themed CNXION platform we will request a few initial items from you including:

Platform logo (two versions to be displayed on dark and light backgrounds as well as an icon only version of the logo without text)

Platform feature colors (generally a default colour and a two feature colors that will be associated with primary and secondary actions (ie. button colors) on the site)

Platform name (eg. Janes Toy Swapping Marketplace)

Profile names (eg. Buyer, Seller)

Fonts (a list of the font familys used in your branding, CNXION is currently set up to work with google fonts)

We will then generate your cnxion theme using the above data which will be used to skin the default cnxion demo. For some examples of the way the cnxion platform has been themed by other tenants please review our success stories.

Tip

If you need any assistance with the branding, colors and fonts associated with your platform the CNXION design team is available to help.

Note

The ability for administrators to set up their own theme through an administrator panel without developer assistance is currently under developement.

Tests minimise the chance of disruptions as we continuously add new features. If your application has specific functionality which is vital to your business we can construct tests to make sure the system is working as desired.
